You can set counter to toolbar. Try this way

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

        //you can add some logic (hide it if the count == 0)
        if (badgeCount > 0) {
            ActionItemBadge.update(this, menu.findItem(R.id.item_samplebadge), FontAwesome.Icon.faw_android, ActionItemBadge.BadgeStyles.DARK_GREY, badgeCount);
        } else {
            ActionItemBadge.hide(menu.findItem(R.id.item_samplebadge));
        }

        //If you want to add your ActionItem programmatically you can do this too. You do the following:
        new ActionItemBadgeAdder().act(this).menu(menu).title(R.string.sample_2).itemDetails(0, SAMPLE2_ID, 1).showAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS).add(bigStyle, 1);
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }
